Color on prints deeper...Anyone have an idea why when they're transfered to the computer the colors are not true.

So is this from negatives then burned to a CD? if so where did you get it done?

Had prints made and color is more distinct [ richer ]
The computer pic's to me are wishie..washie..Even turned off actintic's
New Camera...Panasonic DMC-TZ3

The Lab where the prints where made would have increased the saturation and added some density

Through it in photo shop and did some basic adjustments that a typical photo lab can do

Yes a photoshop program can help bring out the true colours you see but be careful not to add too much saturation. You usually should only have to darken the picture a bit if the colours appear washed out from too much light exposure. You might also want to increase the resolution on your monitor. Even the picture that Jason adjusted looked washed out on my laptop but looks great on my home computer.
The tank is coming along very nicely. Good job!

Check the white balance on your camera, also make sure you have no wierd color settings, like warm or sunny or some fool thing. If you can take pictures in RAW mode do that. Then any even googles picassa(?) (free) has an automatic "fix" mode balances colors/light etc... If you have an SLR than chances are you can do RAW. I luck out my DSLR has no "auto" modes so it shoots what I want it to.
